Details
The bedroom is a private attic space designed to feel calm, light and functional. It’s a generous room with excellent built-in storage running along both sides, making it easy to keep the space organised and clutter-free.

There is a built-in desk, ideal for study or quiet work, and the layout works well as a combined sleeping and study zone without feeling cramped. The sloped ceilings give the room character while still allowing comfortable movement and usable space.

The room is thoughtfully set up for year-round comfort, with evaporative cooling in summer and good insulation. It’s a peaceful retreat that feels separate from the main living areas of the house.

Access to the room is via a steep attic staircase, so the space is best suited to someone who is fully mobile and comfortable with stairs. Because of this, it would not be suitable for anyone with mobility issues.

Overall, it’s a private, well-considered space that suits someone independent, organised and looking for a quiet place to live and study.

Home Description

Description of the home

I have a private attic bedroom available in my home in Yarraville, ideally suited to a mature, independent female student looking for a peaceful place to live, study and feel safe.

The home is light-filled, calm and well cared for, located in a beautiful, community-focused part of Melbourne.

Location highlights:

10-minute walk to both Seddon and Yarraville Stations
15-minute walk to Victoria University
Close to Yarraville Village, Sun Theatre, Alpha Bakehouse and local cafés
Easy access to the city, Footscray and surrounding suburbs

The room:

Private attic bedroom with separation from main living areas
Well set up for study and rest
Evaporative cooling, window heat/UV film and thoughtful climate management
Best suited to someone comfortable living in a character home rather than a new apartment

The home:

Quiet, clean, organised and respectful household
Shared living, dining and kitchen spaces
Fast NBN internet, streaming services included
All household consumables provided

I work full-time in a professional role and have two school-aged children who live with me part-time. The home is also shared with Stella, our beautiful 5-year-old ridgeback cross kelpie. She’s calm, friendly, loves her daily walks and is very partial to a couch snuggle. A dog lover would be a great fit for this home.

This is a stable, low-drama home and I’m looking for someone who values that environment.

This home would suit someone who:

Is independent, organised, self-aware and emotionally self-sufficient
Cleans up after themselves and respects shared spaces
Is studying seriously and values a calm place to come home to
Is comfortable living in a family home (not a party house)

If you’re a student looking for a comfortable, respectful and supportive place to live while you focus on your studies, I’d love to hear from you.
